How New Conspiracy Theorists Undermine Democracy

Published 5 years, 11 months ago
Description

A politician you don't like might be running child prostitutes from a pizzeria. Election results you don't like were rigged. In their new book A Lot of People are Saying, Professors Nancy Rosenblum and Russell Muirhead argue that new conspiracists in Donald Trump's America have no evidence and no argument – in essence, no theory at all. Rosenberg explains how they harm democracy.

This episode is made possible by the Israel office of Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, which promotes peace, freedom, and justice through political education.

This season is made possible by The Van Leer Jerusalem Institute, which promotes humanistic, democratic, and liberal values in the social discourse in Israel.
